Add the "I'm new to discord, say hi!" Flair to mobile

On the desktop app, when you click on a users profile who's account is less than one week old, a flair will pop up saying "I'm new to discord, say hi!" This has been a feature for a long time. And now, a new icon resembling the new "role icons" can be seen on every new account's messages.

This feature is incredibly important for moderation as it is a good sign for alt accounts. Obviously, not everyone is, but these people need to be watched closely anyways. If it is a legitimately brand new user, they may need help finding their way around the app and the server. If it is an alt account, moderations will take action accordingly.

I, along with many other moderators, spend a lot of time using the mobile app, rather than the desktop app. This feature is very convenient on the desktop app, while on mobile we have to either ask someone who is on desktop, or use a bot command to see their join date. And now, on desktop, the "new to discord" icon shows up on their messages so someone doesn't even have to click on their profile.

This is a neat trick: When you copy someone's ID, look at the first few digits. Due to how discord snowflake numbers are constructed, the first bits of that ID represent the timestamp the account was created at. Obviously, the newer the account is the timestamp is larger. So accounts with quite large digits at the beginning of their IDs are new, for example if you create an account today its ID would probably start with 9600
